This video shows how to fully remove the fairings from a 2006, 2007, or 2008 Triumph Daytona 675 motorcycle. The bike in the video is my own personal 2007 Triumph Daytona 675.
This video may be applicable to other model years; however, I did not do the research to verify this information. All suggestions and steps taken in this video are for viewing purposes only. I will not be held responsible for any potential failures or problems that may arise from following the suggestions in this video.
What you will need to remove the fairings from your Triumph:
1) 5 mm Allen (hex) key
2) 8 mm socket and ratchet (or 10 mm wrench)
3) Phillips head screwdriver (small overall length ideal)
Additional Tools (not necessary for basic fairing removal)
1) 10 mm socket (for mirror removal)
2) Flat head screwdriver (for windscreen removal [on my bike; may be different for yours])
General Tips:
* Be careful when removing fairings and other pieces. They are easy to scratch.
* Keep the bolts and tabs organized after removing them from the bike. It will make the re-assembly process much easier.
* When re-installing, do not over torque any of the bolts. You risk cracking the plastic pieces or tabs.
Steps to Remove Right Side Fairing:
1) Loosen the 5 mm Allen bolt and the 5 mm Allen fairing bolt from plastic panel under the right clip-on handlebar. Remove the panel and bolts.
2) Looking underneath the bike, use your Phillips head screwdriver to remove the four plastic pop rivets by unscrewing the center of the rivet and pulling (or pushing) the pop rivet through the hole. There are two rivets at the front and two rivets toward the rear of the motorcycle.
3) Loosen the four 5 mm Allen fairing bolts on the right side fairing. The fairing will be fairly loose, so be careful not to pull on it or bump it too much.
4) Remove the four plastic pop rivets located on the inner panel of the fairing. Again, you will need to use your Phillips head screwdriver to remove these rivets. Remove the inner panel.
5) After removing the inner panel, disconnect the motorcycle's turn signals by releasing the two small clips as shown in the video.
6) Carefully pull away the right side fairing by releasing the fairing from the two tabs located in the middle of the fairing and on the bottom toward the front (attached to the small plastic piece by the radiator).
Steps to Remove Left Side Fairing:
1) They are the same as the right side fairing; however consider the following notes:
* When pulling away the left side fairing, there is an additional tab on the fuse/relay holder. Additionally, if you've already removed the right side fairing, you can also remove the small plastic piece by the radiator at this time. Also, be careful to navigate the left side fairing around the side stand as well.
Steps to Remove Windscreen (not necessary to remove entire front end):
1) Remove nut covers from the four mirror nuts. Use your 10 mm socket and ratchet to remove the four 10 mm nuts and pull straight up on both mirrors to fully remove them.
2) Use your flat head screwdriver (or other screwdriver/Allen wrench) to remove the eight windscreen bolts around the windscreen. The windscreen can now be removed.
Steps to Remove Front Fairing (entire front end):
1) Disconnect the headlight wiring harness by releasing the single clip attaching it to the main harness.
2) Use your 8 mm socket and ratchet (an extension helps immensely) to remove the four bolts holding the plastic, molded intake duct to the motorcycle's frame. Be very careful when loosening these bolts as the front end may possibly drop after they've been fully removed. It should be able to easily pull away from the rest of the bike at this point.
3) To further disassemble the front end, loosen the four bolts (cannot remember what size; I believe 8 or 10 mm) holding the gauge cluster to the fairing stay bracket. There are two bolts on each side. You can now remove the entire front fairing, windscreen, headlight assembly, and fairing stay bracket from the motorcycle. The instrument cluster will remain attached to the motorcycle.
Steps to Remove Rear/Tail Fairing:
1) Release the rider seat with your key.
2) Pull up the front of the passenger seat and expose the 5 mm Allen bolt. Remove this bolt from the bike and remove the passenger seat.
3) Loosen the four 5 mm Allen fairing bolts from the front and rear of the tail fairing as shown in the video. There are two in the front and two in the rear.
4) To fully remove the fairing, release the taillight wiring harness clips. The rear fairing should then be able to be removed from the bike.
To Re-Install All Fairings:
1) Simply follow the aforementioned steps in reverse order in which you removed them.
Voila! Now you are finished. I hope I may be able to help someone out. Thanks for watching, and ride safely!
